trict OF California.
There was no contest in the commit.

The HscG,ymm Matter.

BALTIMORE, January l9.-The Sun
has special from Rome which says;
Much astonishment is expressed in
ecclesiastical circles at the statement
circulated in the United States that
Rome has condemned the teachings OF
Henry George and that DR.. McGlynn
has been censured for adopting them. 1t
is authoritively stated that George s
teachings have not even been examined
by the Propaganda and therefore it is
evident that they have not been con-
demned nor their advocacy censured.
DR.. McGlynn has many warm friends
here and the construction put on the
summons to Rome is deprecated as a
mischievous error.

WASHINGTON, January l9.-Charle,
Francis Adams, President of the Unior
Pacific, and Judge Dillon, his counsel
appeared to-day before the sub.commit.
tee of the House Judiciary Committee
to make an argument upon the resolu.
tion introduced in the House last session
instrncting the Attorney. G eneral to

ing interest on OregonShort Line bonds,
all of which are alleged to be in VIC lation
of the statute and upon their face ap.
parently violative of the provisions of
the act of 1876 and of the Thurman Act.
Adams made q brief statement to the
subcommittee, in which he did not
deny the facts, but declared the
action of the company was taken
in pursuance Of legal opinions
given by its council. Judge Dillon fol.
lowed Adams with long legal argu-
ment, to satisfy the subcommittee that
the company's course was not in viola.
tion of law, and that it had legal right
to act as it had in the matters complain.
ed of in the resolution.
During the course of Adams argu.
ment he cited many authorities which
the subcommittee has not yet had an
opportunity of examining, but Chair.
man Oates states that if they bore out
what is claimed for them, billions ae.
tions complained of would be justified.
Dillon will be allowed to file written
brief, and as its examination will require
some time. a report from the sub-com-
mittee is not expected before next week.

A Thrilling Kiss.

The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Herald thus discourses of an
oscula;ory society event which caused
quite a f1utter: Would Edward Faies
Coward dare to kiss Miss Elsie Anderson
DE Wolfe in public. That was the q aes-
tion which was for days mooted at that
Tuxedo, where a choice 800 of US are
spending holiday week. Mr.. Coward is
swell, beautiful in person and &C.
complished in manners. Miss De Wolfe
is belle, above reproach and alto
gether lovely in person and dispOsi-
tion. They are noted performers in
amateur thestricals. and one evening at
Tuxedo was devoted TO a dramatic en-
tertainmeut in which they took the
parts of Modus and Helen in the wooing
scenes from the "Hunchkack." In
these passages, you remember. the
young man is bsshful lover, aud the
girl has to entice him on, until at length
his courage is braced sufficiently to make
him kiss his fair cousin. The
climax is osculatory, and the situa-
ton does not permit of any
humbug. The pair are close ito
the footlights. He hovers hesitantly
over her mouth. which is expectantly
pouted. A genuine. hearty kiss is alb
solutely required. Under such stress OF
interest, try to imagine the hush oi
tongues, the straining of eyes and
the holding of breath when the time
came for Mr.. Coward TO kiss Miss De
Wolfe. or not to. He passed his righ;
arm around her waist sacred to waltz.
ing hugs, clasped one OF her
ungloved hands in his left, benz
the upper third OF his spinal
column until his lips were leveled with
hers, pressed the two pairs firmly and
slowly together, and then parted then
with a gurgling smack. An unluck,
two.thirds OF the audience could only
see the juxtaposition of faces, while th,
fortunate remainder had a clear view o.
the impac,ed lips, but all heard th,
chwe-e-e-w-e-e-p, and in family the ap
plause was rapturous. 1t is unlikel,
